breakfast of champions?

I start the day with my favorite travelers breakfast in Japan: aloe vera yogurt, mikan (mandarins,) salted boiled eggs and green tea. Someone, please, bring aloe vera yogurt to the U.S.! Is the concept that hard to swallow?

It may not look like much here but this building holds the 1001 identical, gilded, nearly life size statues of Kannon, the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy, each with several extra sets of arms. It is truly a sight to behold and, of course, is not allowed to be photographed by visitors. 

Fortunately, one can find photographs on the internet!
